We had our second book discussion group for the children today. We discussed
Beorn the Proud (an excellent book by the way). The children are enjoying the discussion and are beginning to understand how to talk about a book.
After our discussion group, we joined several other families from our former church and went on our monthly visit to an assisted living complex. The children bring things to show and tell or they recite verses or play instruments. Nathan is playing his recorder this time as the group listens.
Once the children are done performing, we usually sing songs like
Jesus Loves Me or
Amazing Grace. Today Deborah suggested
Onward Christian Soldiers, which most of the residents knew by heart. And of course, we always do the favorite of both the children and the residents watching them,
Father Abraham. In the picture below, we are at the verse where we swing our right arms.
We usually stay for about an hour. Nathan especially likes going because he likes to talk to everyone there. The residents really enjoy seeing the children, talking to them, and getting hugs from them.
